Desert Mirage Golf Course offers a public, nine-hole course and a fully stocked pro shop. The course has a traditional design but that does not mean it is boring. It is perfect for squeezing in a quick game or for beginners and kids. The course is relatively flat, but there are some hills on the course that can affect shots. The greens are medium sized with some slight undulation and the generous fairways are wide open. There are also water hazards and bunkers that come into play on a few of the holes. Desert Mirage Golf Course's signature hole is the par-4 ninth. It requires a tee shot over a lake to an island green.

Charged me for my 9 yr old nephew to ride along

I booked a tee time for one but when I showed up with my 9yr old nephew to spend some time together they charged me for a second golfer. I told them he was just along for the ride but I guess that didn’t matter to them. I live down the street from here and I really did like playing here because it’s quick but I will not be back after the blatant over charging.

Unwelcoming to Jr golfers or kids wanting to watch

This place is unwelcoming to jr golfers or kids trying to just watch. No matter the age, they will charge you $15 per “spectator” fee when the round to play costs $10-12 on golf now. They say they are scared of being sued and have been sued before for balls hitting players. They are just sticking it to you. It makes no sense when every other 9 hole course in the valley welcomes jr golfers and kids trying to watch and learn the game. We are all trying to pass this dying game down to the next generation so we can keep the love of the game going. If you are willing to pay that fee, just know the course is below average and there are plenty of better choices. Hope this helps to shut this place down and/or get a new owner who cares about golfers.

Golf with my Grandson

Overall I had a great time with my Grandson. I hadn’t golfed here in 10 years ( with his dad ). It was the first time for him. 110 degrees here in Phoenix and the perfect amount of holes. My only negative complaint would be that it was really muddy around the greens ( not all holes ) . You know off the greens you aren’t supposed to clean your balls ( marked on Greens only ) . Yes I wasn’t playing for money but always play by the rules. My grandson had a blast so we would definitely play here again. Maybe better conditions next time. Robert B

Fun 9 hole course

Desert Mirage is a nice little layout with 4 short par 4s and 5 par 3s. Great for iron practice, but also a chance to hit a couple of woods. Course is in good shape, tee to green grass is good. Greens are in great shape for summer and roll nicely. Good finishing hole with a lake along the whole left side of hole.

Regular golfer at desert

My experience at the course was ok compared to previous tee times visits. A little over priced for the course conditions, staff friendliness and range. Unfortunately, pace of play was terrible. Although, the staff was great about noticing multiple groups slowing everyone down, the conditions weren’t helping. All around, it’s ok if you’re a beginner golfer. Just a little OP. Hope this helps.
